Thanks for the info Mandy. But after checking out the prices, even used on Amazon...like 200 -300 bucks used. Forget that!
So I found "Babbel.com" it is pretty cool. It's visual also, which is how I learn so I've been doing that. I like the features they have. Like when a picture pops up with the German word or phrase you can change the picture until it's one that will stick in your mind. It doesn't have a speak back function...maybe it does, I've only started last week or so.
But, it's a start and it's free.
I'll be happy if I can just get 'travelers conversation' down.
I just read In Her Wake, a true story about a daughters search for answers to her mother's suicide. By Nancy Rappaport.
Kinda creepy.
